group B (blind); an appropriate size endotracheal tube will be introduced through I-gel blindly. Only smooth intubation without force together with manoeuvres necessary to correct the position of tracheal tube will be allowed. Only one attempt of blind intubation is allowed to avoid airway injury. Any resistance to first attempt tube insertion will indicate failure of blind tube insertion.

group C (control), a paediatric fibrescope will be primed with an appropriate size tracheal tube. The fibrescope will be introduced through I-gel and guide tracheal intubation. After insertion of tube and confirmation of position, the fiberscope will be removed

I-gel

To compare between use of I-gel as a conduit for blind intubation and as a conduit for fiberoptic guided intubation in children. We also aim to validate the use of I-gel as conduit for blind intubation in absence of fiberoptic or lack of experience of its use.
